Malala speaks for the Rohingyas

It makes us happy to know that Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai has called on the world leaders to take immediate action to halt the inhuman persecution of Myanmar's Muslim minority, the Rohingya people.

It is surprising that Myanmar's government always claims Rohingyas as Bangladeshis. Their stubbornness in this regard is obnoxious. That's why Rohingyas, who have lived in Myanmar for generations, are victims of an ongoing ethnic cleansing.

We express our solidarity with her saying, “The Rohingyas deserve citizenship in the country where they were born and have lived for generations.”
